Fresh Strawberry Muffins

I hope your week is off to a great start! If it isn’t these Fresh Strawberry Muffins are going to change that!

Today I’m sharing a recipe for Fresh Strawberry Muffins that is just perfect for the upcoming strawberry season. One of my favorite signs of spring (apart from sunshine and flowers) are fresh strawberries. When I was a little girl, Grandmama had a strawberry patch that grew at the side of her house. It was so much fun to go sit down beside it and hunt for patches of ripe red berries amid the leaves. I don’t recall bringing too many in the house as we ate them right then and there! These days I imagine folks would want to go buy a fancy spray to clean them with, thoroughly rinse them, and gently lop the tops off before even considering such a thing but we just plopped them right into our mouths, dirt and all! Those were the good old days, when you were normal if you grew your own food, spent the majority of your day outside, and ate your share of dirt along with fresh juicy strawberries at Grandmama’s house.

We have a great local farm that sets up a strawberry stand near my house as soon as the season starts. My favorite thing to do is buy two gallons: one to use in recipes and the other to simply eat. There is nothing like local grown strawberries. Make sure you save this recipe so you can make use of it as soon as they come in where you are!

I never leave comments on recipes but just had to for this fresh strawberry muffin recipe.

Thanks for the great strawberry muffin recipe. It is strawberry season here in Southern Ontario. Bought 6 quarts of strawberries and after making jam had 2 quarts left over and needed to do something with leftovers. Made the muffins this afternoon and they were excellent. Made the muffins as per the recipe with no changes. Had just the right amount of sweetness. Thanks again for sharing the recipe. Just quite literally stumbled onto your site while googling strawberry muffin recipes. I will definitely check your site often.
